BACON-WRAPPED TROUT



Bacon-Wrapped Trout image

Trout is readily available but often overlooked. The bacon adds flavour to the fish while protecting it from the heat of the grill. Make sure the bacon is thinly sliced, and soak the string in cold water ahead of time so it doesn't burn. From the LCBO magazine.

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 garlic cloves, smashed
4 sprigs fresh sage
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 (12 -14 ounce) whole trout (375 to 430 g)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
8 slices bacon
string

Steps:

  • Place 1 garlic clove and 1 sage and thyme sprig inside each fish. Season them well with salt and pepper.
  • Lay 2 slices bacon, overlapping, on a board. Place the fish on top and wrap the bacon around the fish, securing it with the string. Repeat with the remaining fish.
  • Preheat the grill to high, then oil well. Grill the fish 4 to 6 minutes a side, or until the bacon is crispy and the fish is cooked through.
  • Cut off the string and serve.
  • Tip: To make grilling fish easier and prevent it from sticking, place it in a well-oiled fish basket and secure well.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Bacon: Opt for thick-cut bacon slices (at least 1/4 inch thick) for a more satisfying bite and smoky flavor.
  • Prepare the Cajun Rub: Combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well to create a flavorful rub.
  • Coat the Bacon: Generously rub the Cajun seasoning mixture all over each bacon slice, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let the bacon marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Grill the Bacon: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 350-400°F). Place the bacon slices on the preheated grill grates and cook for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the bacon is cooked to your desired doneness, flipping halfway through.
  • Monitor the Bacon: Keep a close eye on the bacon while grilling to prevent burning. Use tongs to flip the bacon slices gently to ensure even cooking and avoid tearing.
  • Serve Immediately: Once the bacon is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the bacon to firm up and retain its juices. Serve the grilled Cajun bacon as a standalone snack or incorporate it into your favorite breakfast, lunch, or dinner dishes.
  • Conclusion:
